Global Lords: Hundredfold Increments Starting With the Undead-Chapter 992 - 613, you really think I’m begging you
Parliament Hall.
Members of the parliament gradually entered and took their seats in their respective places.
There were three areas for the members’ seats: at the bottom were representatives from associations, unions, and civilian delegates.
The middle area was for representatives from the Hundred Cities, and above them were the five giants of the Upper House.
"Hey! Does your union agree with this matter?"
In the lower area, nearby members gathered together.
"Don’t ask me, do you agree with it?" a representative of the union retorted.
"Rebecca has talked to our union, we agree with this vote, supporting her entry into the Upper House, but as for the result, that’s beyond our control."
"Heh, she wants to get in, but I see it as difficult. Not to mention whether the Upper House would allow her entry, the majority in the Lower House are united in boycotting her."
Another member leaned in, "I know some of this. Groot has been busy these days, getting members of the Lower House to join forces against Rebecca’s entry into the Upper House."
"They have a feud; of course, they can’t let her succeed."
"So what’s the situation like now? In the Lower House, are there many who support her?"
"Hard to say. I heard Rebecca’s young husband is quite impressive, promising quite a lot of benefits. Also, there are quite a few people who will support them."
"Actually, if you think about it, Rebecca is really something. After all these years, who would have thought she would be the one nominated for the Upper House."
"Haha, what does that have to do with us? It’s just a good show to watch."
"True that..."
...
The Hundred Cities members’ area.
"How’s the situation?" Groot walked up from below and asked in a low voice.
Hubert, seated in a chair, turned back and said, "No problem. Even if Rebecca has convinced more people, as long as we hold half the votes, she can forget about entering the Upper House."
After saying that, he asked, "Your side is proceeding smoothly too, right?"
"Fairly smooth. Rebecca’s haughty nature doesn’t win her many friends in the city. A little persuasion, and basically few support her," Groot replied.
Hubert nodded, continuing in a lowered voice, "I’ve heard that the Upper House won’t agree to this matter either. Her chances of succeeding are slim."
"That’s for the best, to completely block her entry into the Upper House."
"This is also an opportunity. The City Lord plans to make some moves, intending ’Nasir City’ to be nominated for the Upper House next year," Hubert continued.
Hubert was the parliamentary representative of ’Nasir City’.
Groot was startled; he hadn’t expected ’Nasir City’ to set its sights on the Upper House as well.
"Don’t worry; I understand. I’ll help you out when the time comes."
"Good, that’s what friends are for. The City Lord won’t let your assistance go unrewarded."
Groot smiled and continued, "It’s about time. I’ll go remind those people one more time so that no mistakes happen later."
"Right!"
...
Time passed slowly.
Members’ seats gradually filled up.
A chaotic buzz, everyone discussing in low voices about ’Rebecca’s entry into the Upper House.’
Some supported, some opposed.
Their voices overshadowed the nearby music.
Boom!
At that moment, the bell rang.
At the very top of the hall, three enormous banners unfurled from the ceiling.
The music being played on the side suddenly grew louder, shifting from calm to powerful and uplifting.
The entire hall fell silent.
Amidst the applause of everyone, the five giants of the Upper House walked out from the back.
They each took their respective seats.

Once the applause had quieted down a bit, Dordy stood up and said, "Everyone is clear about the purpose of this parliamentary decision. Now, I invite the City Lord of Lyss City to make the final statement."
As soon as the words fell, from the back of the high platform,
a young man dressed in blue regal attire walked out, bearing a warm smile as he approached the center, bowing in the noble fashion to those below.
Then he spoke directly, "Lyss City, holding to the concept of a common human destiny, bearing the responsibility of the Hundred Cities delegates, fought side by side with the Federation, never retreating in the face of the Undead campaign. Learning that the fierce Undead assault could threaten the Federation and the safety of the cities, Lyss City did its utmost to contact allies and share the Federation’s burden, thus earning this nomination opportunity.
Here, I can promise, once Lyss City enters the Upper House, we will comply with parliamentary rules and assist the various unions and associations as well as help build the basic infrastructure of the cities and towns, ......"
Fang Hao stood on the podium, loudly reading from the manuscript in his hand.
The campaign speech had been written by someone he found on the channel, and the content was indeed not bad.
The ensuing promises were about what Lyss City entering the Upper House would bring to everyone.
These were mostly formalities, meant more to be heard by the audience.
Even if one were to enter the Upper House, these matters weren’t something a single party could decide alone.
Fang Hao finished reading all five sections of the content.
Below, there was complete silence.
Even though entering the Upper House was a serious matter,
no one’s campaign speech had ever been so extensive or formal.
Moreover, even when Dordy had made his declaration upon taking leadership, it wasn’t as eloquent as this manuscript.

As Fang Hao’s voice fell,
a member below spoke out, "City Lord Fang Hao, there are rumors that you are just a man kept by Rebecca. Can you represent Lyss City?"
Fang Hao frowned, replying, "Between husband and wife, there’s mutual reliance; there’s no question of who keeps whom. Moreover, I can represent Lyss City."
